Hope all fellows will be fine.
In the attached file, I have the student group attendance record which they submit at the online Attendance form themselves.
Many-times they submit multiple attendance each day. I want to retain the latest record submitted for that day. It will be also helpful if I could able to find differences before removal of the records.

Always good to hear from you ā hope youāre doing well.
Iāve taken a look at your dataset, but if you could please provide a mockup of the output youāre looking for, that would be extremely helpful in developing a solution.
Thanks.
Thanks @BrianJ.
Attached is the Excel File with highlighted rows for sample.
Group Attendance Sheet (Before Mid).xlsx (19.6 KB)
1- In āRed Colorā, There is no change in the data record but only repetition. but I want to retain the row with most latest Timestamp.
2- In 'Yellow Color, I want also retain the latest record (row 28) but, before removal of duplicates, want to store the change in physical record.
For instance, at 28 row, there is change of status of second group member for the same day. At row 26, when the form submitted, the second group member was absent but later on at row 28, his status changes.
Hi @Tanzeel,
Iām sure @BrianJ will offer you an amazing DAX solution but to me this sound like a job for Power Query. So I Grouped the rows in the table and Sorted them Descending, added an Index column and Expanded all rows again. So you now have all records you started with but can Identify all the āLatest recordsā by the Index number 1.
I hope this is helpful. Here is the PBIX, if you update the FileLocation parameter the query will be restored. eDNA - Retaining the latest values according to Timestamp.pbix (68.8 KB)
